Rated 2 star based purely on the fact it kept me reading to 72%. I'm past caring about the characters, story and conclusion. A slow, boring, poorly written book. No more, I've just got over a year long slump and this kind of stuff would send me straight back into one. Saving myself while I still can! Sorry Mr Dribble, oops, Drabble I mean.

This was an excellent horror book. The back story (the story of Tolan and how Eden came to be) was really, really sad.
The author did an excellent job of keeping “what” Eden was until the last couple of chapters. Then he went overboard with the killing. I know that there are people out there who love blood and violence in their books. The bloodier, the better. Not me.
The ending was great, and I liked how the author left the possibility of another book. Won’t say how, but it was interesting how it was left.
This will go on my read again shelf. And I am very, very interested in reading the author’s other books.
